Art or design, which is it?

I had my picture (well, one of my cars) in Practical Classics [1], when
they did a two page spread on the "criminal" banger racers.


[1] I think it was this one; I didn't see it.

 

It was you I was thinking of. I may never forgive you for destroying
a SII, even if it was pink.

 

More criminal than killing a Mark II Granada, or some other shit like
that.

But it was a Jag, and I like Jags.

I look on it from a different point of view. For every snotter that ends
up on the banger track, add 100 quid to the price of a good one. Natural
selection, only the good survive.

I had an immaculate 1977, Roman Bronze with beige vinyl roof, 3.0 litre
GL auto back in 1990/91. Bought for 400 quid from the local paper, sold
in Practical Classics classifieds for 2200 quid 18 months later, after
towing our caravan all over the UK. All it cost me was a new fuel tank,
which was about 50 quid, cos I managed to puncture the old one on a
campsite and then it virtually fell apart when removing it. I'd always
thought it was a bit heavy on fuel, I hadn't realised that when it was
more than half full the petrol was seeping through where the welded seam
half way up the tank had rusted.

The classifieds are the best place to sell any car of that age/type.
Local rags are the best place to buy them.
